Abstract:
The epistemological perspective which determines major aspects of the agenda of modern philosophy
results historically from a new kind of fear that we are at risk of failing to be in touch with
the truth about the world. The philosophical result of the attempt to counter this fear has,
though, arguably consisted in actually reinforcing it: scepticism remains a central, unresolved
concern of contemporary epistemology. Understanding the constellation of increasing scientific
warrantability, and the accompanying unsatisfactory attempts to ground it epistemologically,
demands more than a focus based solely on cognitive justifications, because the scope of these
is precisely what is in question. In the view I wish to propose, the history of modern philosophy
is, though, not to be seen as a history of epistemological failure, but is rather - and this
chimes with my view of the aesthetic dimensions of philosophy - an expression of tensions in
forms of self-reflection in modernity. The very lack of resolution of such tensions points towards
the open-endedness characteristic of artistic production and reception, rather than towards the
acceptance of definitive theories.
